Swordfish, Dom Perignon and X-Factor

Yesterday was our wedding anniversary. And like most couples we wanted to celebrate it in a romantic and gastronomic way. But we’ve been so “on-the-go” lately that staying home really sounded most appealing. So we did, but not without some good food, GREAT champagne and our favorite guilty pleasure of the moment (X-Factor).

Start by mincing the parsley, onion and garlic together into a fine mixture (I think the “mezzaluna” knife works best for this). Add oil, then the mixture, salt and peperoncino to large saute pan. Bring it to a sizzle (about 2 minutes) and add the swordfish steaks. Let them cook for about 3-4 minutes and turn. Add the tomatoes and pine nuts and let cook for 3 minutes. For the last minute add the white wine and shake the pan a bit letting the wine cover the steaks. Serve hot with your favorite bottle of white wine (in our case a bottle of Dom and I feel great today!). You can also add olives when you add the tomatoes and pint nuts (I was out!).

As you can see, it’s not a complicated process but comes out tasting delish. Buon appetito and “buon anniversario” to us!
